    London Fashion Week

    Canon cameras invited us to London Fashion Week to photograph a show by designer Julien MacDonald, with a view to producing a set of photos in our style (although we also took a few catwalk fashion shots for fun). You may remember we shot LFW last year, also with CPS (Canon Professional Services); you can view that by looking at our previous London Fashion Week article.

    After the show we were shown in to a room where Canon had set up a 360 photography rig at the show called Canon Fashion 360Ëš Studio. Utilising many Canon cameras rigged up in a circle to photograph at the same moment, causing anyone in the middle of the rig to have their very own personal freeze frame Matrix moment. Of course myself and Laura had to jump in and you can check it out at the bottom of the post.

    Canon invited us along to London Fashion week to shoot a couple of collections, including Henry Holland and Alice Temperley’s collections at Somerset House in Central London.

    The show was introduced by Caroline Flack and we had a great time shooting from the photographers pit and eating complimentary Kinder Buenos. Being restricted to a narrow space to photograph the catwalk from, posed a challenge to apply our unique documentary style, but one that we really enjoyed and made us think differently.

  • Canon 1Dx evaluation day with Canon UK

    Canon 1Dx evaluation day with Canon UK

    We had the privilege of being invited by Canon to try the currently unreleased Canon 1Dx at a Karting centre in London. We arrived and were greeted with a table full of the finest lenses and with plenty of 1Dx bodies to go around we were not short of toys to play with. We had also brought along our 1Ds mk3 and Canon 5D3 to compare the 1Dx against.

    After trying out the focusing, tracking and ISO capabilities I will say that anyone with a pre-order will not be disappointed, the 1Dx is a serious beast. Tracking the karts around the track was effortless for the 1Dx with entire series of shots in very sharp focus at 12fps.

    On more than one occasion as the karts flew past where I was standing I’d sometimes be playing around with settings and then at the last-minute swing the 1Dx up to my eye, hit the focus and shoot. Normally I would be very surprised to even get one in focus being so flippant with my shooting style but the 1Dx was nearing super powers and I found that more often than not I would get a sharp well focused image, usually several in fact due to the speed of the camera.

    Already owning the Canon 5D mk3 we were more accustomed to the new high iso capabilities of the new generation of Canon cameras and the 1Dx again is top of its game, changing how we’re going to be shooting certain aspects of work in the future.

    Before photographing purely for our commercial clients, we photographed weddings. Canon featured a Lime Leaf Weddings photo in their Professional Services (CPS) 2010 welcome pack. All our Camera equipment is from Canon and it’s always great to see our work printed in one of their brochures.
